Okay, let's see... Opened a bottle of 2007 Angoves Nine Vines Rose last night... and, well, it was just okay... a bit unbalanced... some strawberry-like fruit but too much acidity to just sip... maybe some kung pao chicken would have helped....
Anyway, this got me thinking about Rose's. I never thought I would like them until I visited the Archery Summit winery in Oregon a couple of years ago. They poured a tasting of their Pinot Rose.... wow! This was a delicious wine... not wimpy... hell, wasn't even ashamed to admit that I liked it to my beer-guzzling friend who was courteous enough to show me around the valley.
Since then, I've tried a few more Rose's that I really enjoyed... L'Aventure, Beckmen, and one from Tobin James in paso... a Syrah Rose! Check 'em out. Just don't invite your NFL-fan-friends over to share it with you unless you've got some spicy kabob's to go along with it.
